( 2 grab your arms and the other takes wallet, bag of Bitcoins, phone and powder substances. Kicks your bum and tells you clear off)..

They don't try to lure them in, the roo would prefer the dog to piss off. By defending itself in the water stops the dog from being able to circle round the roo and attack from behind. Its a lot harder for the dog to maneuver in the water.

And I thought bush Possums throwing bark peices at me from branches above (accurate throws at angles of a few metres away) were a threat to my life. Now it's three Grey Roos staring me down with hypnotism, being more dangerous.
Let's not forget Koalas at Zoos attacking Nihonese and Chinese tourists during the Cuddle a Koala photo experience, because yellow people smell like sour territorial markings and sound like breaking branches when they talk. Out comes the Koala claws and grunts.
As for Dingoes. When they approach, all you gotta do is pull out the pizza and they'll be your best friend and leave the kids alone.
Cassowaries? Must be very wary of these aggressive attackers, but just like the Great White Sharks of the Neptune Islands love the sound of AC/DC on hydrophone. Cassowaries become docile when they hear high quality harp music.

No. Proven fact, Cassowaries like quality harp music. They even sit on the ground to listen non aggressively. You still don't approach them though.
As for those pesky bush Possums throwing bark peices at me when camping. Well, I think only a paint ball gun works as I've seen a few colourful possums in the trees who seem a lot better behaved.

Some idiot will let his/her dog out and it chases roos like tunnel vision. Everyone misses the roo with a swerve but hit the dogs right after it. Cunning Kangas.

The roos don't hop across a road until there are no cars or before there is one. They've learnt that unleashed dogs don't look either way when chasing them. More dog hits, than roos in JB.
